- Interior workers, energy, agriculture, dismissed health services.
- Largely dismiss the probationary employees during their first year.
- The federal government is inflated and a lot of money is lost in waste: Trump.
Washington: President Donald Trump, supported by his advisor Elon Musk, intensified efforts to considerably reduce the American bureaucracy on Friday, rejecting more than 9,500 federal employees responsible for tasks ranging from the supervision of public land to the service of care to the former military fighters.
Workers at the Department of Interior, Energy, Veterans Affairs, Agriculture, and Health and Human Services Had Their Employment Terminated in A Drive That So Far Has Largely – But not Exclusively – Targeted Probationary Employees in Their First Year On The Job Who Have Fewer Employment Protections.
Certain agencies have been essentially closed, such as the independent guard dog, the financial protection office of consumers, where the cuts also struck workers from fixed -term contracts.
The Internal Internal Tax collection service is preparing to dismiss thousands of workers next week, two people familiar with the case declared a decision which could lead to resources before the deadline of the Americans to produce taxes on income.
The layoffs, reported by Reuters and other major American media, are added to the around 75,000 workers who took a takeover that Trump and Musk proposed to make them leave voluntarily, according to the White House. This is equivalent to around 3% of the civil workforce of 2.3 million people.
Trump says the federal government is too swollen and that too much money is lost by waste and fraud. The federal government has some 36 billions of dollars of debt and led a deficit of $ 1.8 billion last year, and there is a bipartite agreement on the need for reform.
But the Democrats of the Congress say that Trump is encroaching on the constitutional authority of the Legislative Assembly on federal spending, even if his republican colleagues who control majorities in the two chambers of the Congress have largely supported the measures.
Critics have questioned Musk’s Blunt Force approach, the richest person in the world, who has amazed an extraordinary influence in Trump’s presidency.
On Friday, the US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Friendly had the shoulders of these concerns, comparing the Musk government ministry for a financial audit.
“They are serious people, and they go from the agency to the agency, doing an audit, looking for best practices,” he told Fox Business Network.
Musk relies on a coterie of young engineers with little government experience to manage its Doge campaign, and their first cuts seem to be more motivated by the ideology than to reduce costs.
“I was betrayed by my country”
Federal workers have expressed their shock.
“I did a lot for my country and as a veteran who served his country, I feel like I was betrayed by my country,” said Nick Gioia, who served in the army and worked For the Ministry of Defense for a total of 17 years before joining the USDA economic research service in December to be dismissed Thursday evening.
“I don’t have the impression that it has something to do with federal workers, I have the impression that it is only a game,” Gioia, who lives in Elizabethtown, Kentucky, and To an epileptic child. “To sit here and look at people like Mr. Musk Tweeter how he feels like he is doing an excellent job, he doesn’t realize what he does in people’s lives.”
Steve Lenkart, Executive Director of the National Federation of Federal Employees Union, which represents more than 100,000 workers, said that it expects Musk, of which SpaceX companies have major contracts with the American federal government, and The Trump administration focuses on agencies that regulate industry and finance.
“That’s really what everything is really,” said Lenkart. “It keeps the government from industry and incredibly rich people, which is why Elon Musk is so excited about it.”
“Partially canceled” nuclear cuts
About 1,200 to 2,000 workers from the Ministry of Energy were dismissed, including 325 from the National Nuclear Security Administration, which oversees the nuclear stock, said sources familiar to the case on Friday.
But these layoffs were “partly canceled” to keep essential nuclear security workers, one of the sources said. We did not know how many 325 shots had been canceled.
2,300 other employees have been chopped with the Interior Department, which manages 500 million acres of public land, including more than 60 national parks, as well as the country’s oil and gas rental programs, told the Reuters.
An unknown number of workers from the Ministry of Agriculture has also been the door, according to sources.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reduce nearly 1,300 workers, or a third of its staff, reported the Associated Press.
The layoffs added to a series of cuts that targeted the departments, including veterans, education and Small Business Administration.
The managers of the personnel management office, who oversees federal hiring, met with agency on Thursday, advising them to dismiss their recently hired employees who had no complete job protections, according to a person familiar with the problem .
The speed and extent of Musk’s efforts have caused growing frustration among some of Trump’s assistants concerning a lack of coordination, including the chief of staff to the White House Susie Wiles, sources in Reuters told.
The prosecution disputes musk
In addition to the job discounts, Trump and Musk tried to empty civil service protections for career employees, have frozen most of us, and tried to close certain government agencies such as the American agency for international development and the CFPB almost entirely.
Unions representing federal workers continued to block the buyout plan.
Three federal judges supervising confidentiality affairs against Doge will examine Friday if the Musk team should have access to the payment systems of the Treasury Department and to data potentially sensitive to American health agencies, consumer and work protection.
Musk sent DOGE members to at least 16 government agencies, where they had access to computer systems with staff and financial information, and returned workers to the house.
The Inspector General of the Treasury Department launched an audit of the security system security checks, according to a letter sent in response to a request from Democratic legislators.
